Ten Things Tuesday- Great Musicians!

I am a music lover.
I think everyone that isn't, should be.

There is a kind for everyone.

I grew up with all kinds of music.
Dad likes his country.
Mom likes her mellower rock.

She also had classical records that I listened to.

At heart, I am a rock girl.


All of it just depends on my mood.

So this week's Ten Things Tuesday is about the musicians that I love.

1. Tom Petty
   Whether he is going solo or playing with the Heartbreakers, I love Petty. He is a great songwriter.
Good for a mellow mood.
Saving Grace


2.The Offspring
   I love these guys. Very full of energy and they just make me want to get moving. The lead guitarist's name is Noodles. With a name like that, how can you go wrong?
Gotta Get Away



3. Depeche Mode
   These guys have been around for a long time and they are still putting out new stuff. Nice good sound.
Enjoy the Silence


4. Disturbed
  These guys are not for everyone. They are heavy and high energy. A lot of people think metal has no meaning. Believe me, their songs have meaning.
Another Way to Die


5. The Foo Fighters
  A good rock sound headed by Dave Grohl. The songs are good. Most of their videos are so funny. Dave Grohl started the band and recorded the first album by himself and didn't get other members until it was time to tour.




6. Three Days Grace
   Good rock music. Good lyrics.




7. 10 Years
   This band has been around for a little over 10 years. They have a really great sound. The lead Jesse is a little guy with a really big voice.



8. Flyleaf
   Their oldest stuff is heavier than their newer stuff, but it is all good. Male band with female lead, which is not too common.



9. R.E.M.
  I love this band. Is it a coincidence that the initials are that of my maiden name? I don't know. You be the judge.
I don't think they have a single song that I don't like.



10. Red Hot Chili Peppers
   Another band that has been around for many years. They are very funkadelic.




What is with  Warner Brothers disabling embedding?

I Can't Think Of a Title

Well, I did think of one, but it turns out I had already used it.

And Can't think of a title seems not to be taken.

So, here we are.

I had a great visit with my niece yesterday.

She stayed quite a while.

Tonight, Kiddo is going to a dance at the middle school.

I hope she enjoys herself.

Not sure why she is going though.

The last time she went to one, she hated it.

She is definitely not a pop rock or country music loving gal.

Give her Avenged Sevenfold or Mudvayne and she is happy.

Give her Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift- not so much.

And they always play the crap she hates at these things and she has to pay to get in to hear said crap.

But it is her allowance money.

And she MIGHT enjoy herself.

It is possible.

She's got some girls to hang out with so she might have fun.

I used to go to all the dances in high school and middle school.

I danced all the time.

Except for the slow ones cause I didn't have anyone to dance with.

But, I loved it.

I love to dance!

And back then, they played the good stuff.

AC/DC

Billy Idol

Steppenwolf

The Beastie Boys

Billy Squier

Van Halen

and can't forget Nirvana

Ya know, the good music.

The kind to shake your booty to.

Yes, I did dance my way through the 80's where there was fantastic music goin' on.

But, I know there is some good new rock goin' on.

Yet, sad to say, many people just listen to the CRAP available.

And so that is what the schools play at dances.

Poor kids.
